Easy data structure and algorithm practice puzzle.
Given the notes of a chord, return the lowest one. Walk the notes once and keep the smallest so far. Start with the first note, not a made-up big number. In root position, the lowest note is the one the chord is named after.
Solve it three ways: snap the jigsaw pieces together, fill in the blanks, or type it from scratch against the tests. This one is free.
Every line of the solution comes with a note explaining why it is there, and a step by step replay shows the code running. At level 3, where you type it yourself, you can ask for an AI mock interview on this problem that ends with a hiring manager's scorecard.
Then grow it into a real project with the Software Engineer button: this puzzle becomes the Track Stats Roll-up, a pipeline you can run and download. See every Software Engineer project.
